THE-OPEN-GROUP
15.12.2020 15:02:15 CET | Business Wire | Press release
The Open Group , the vendor-neutral technology consortium, and the University of York today announced a partnership with a consortium of leading European research organizations, software developers, and industrial big data users. Together, they will make hybrid big data accessible and easy to integrate within new applications and services through developing and evolving next generation technologies.
With support from the European Union, the Polyglot and Hybrid Persistence Architectures for Big Data Analytics (TYPHON) project has already invested €4.5 million (US$5.3 million) into advanced technology development. This funding has enabled the rapid creation of applications that bridge the many formats and architectures used to store data today. The integrated platform is currently undergoing first deployments within major organizations across the Telecom, Banking, Automotive, and Aerospace industries, and is being made widely available in open source format. By implementing the new technologies, organizations are able to enhance the productivity of their data architects, reduce development time and costs, and deliver new applications and services that make full use of existing big data stores.
Today’s development teams face substantial challenges when it comes to ensuring hybrid big data applications and services are designed coherently, which requires capturing a range of different formats that data is held within. To overcome these complexities, the TYPHON project has built a set of tools for developing, querying, evolving, analyzing, and monitoring hybrid big data polystores. These polystores readily combine numerous types of underlying storage technologies, including relational, graph-based, document-based, natural language, and big data islands.
David Lounsbury, Chief Digital Officer, The Open Group said: “The TYPHON project has brought together a range of industry experts who have collaborated to streamline the time intensive process of implementing intricate big data solutions. By connecting many different storage formats, the new technologies enable developers to deliver applications capable of effectively utilizing big data assets within organizations. The Open Group has a long-standing history of working with the University of York on complex systems. Together, we can provide the expertise and guidance needed to drive these technologies through final industrial evaluations.”
The advanced tools provide big data systems developers with:
- Technologies for designing hybrid polystores, taking into account the structure of the data, the availability, partitioning, and consistency requirements of different subsets of the data, and the available deployment resources
- Novel algorithms for transforming hybrid polystore design models into preconfigured optimized virtual machines which can be deployed on cloud infrastructure
- An extensible high-level language for querying and modifying data stored in hybrid polystores, as well as capabilities for translating high-level queries into efficient native queries
- A high-performance framework for publishing and processing data access and updating events to facilitate real-time monitoring and predictive analytics
- Technologies for evolving the organization and distribution of data in hybrid polystores, along with tools for monitoring use of polystores for enhanced evolution
Coordinated by The Open Group with technical leadership from the University of York, which has directed the advanced research, the TYPHON consortium includes:
- Centrum Wiskunde & Informatica , Edge Hill University , University of L’Aquila , University of Namur : recognized leaders in their respective fields of data query languages, natural language processing, data modelling languages, and hybrid data evolution
- CLMS and SWAT Engineering : leading providers of tools and services for big data applications development
- ATB : a research institute specializing in big data deployment technologies
- Alpha Bank , GMV , OTE , and Volkswagen : industry leaders in their respective sectors - Banking, Aerospace, Telecom, and Automotive – that are undertaking final evaluations of TYPHON project technologies within their big data applications
“With the availability of the TYPHON Modelling Language, Query Language, Deployment Language, and tools for creating, monitoring, and evolving new hybrid big data polystores, software developers can now rapidly create next generation applications and systems,” said Professor Dimitris Kolovos, University of York. “Through addressing key industry challenges, the TYPHON project is dedicated to ensuring hybrid big data solutions are designed, assembled, and configured consistently - ultimately enabling organizations to unlock the power of data.”
The technological advances and innovations resulting from the TYPHON project, as well as the final versions of the technologies in open source format are publically available via the project website: www.typhon-project.org
The TYPHON project receives funding under the European Union Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme, an initiative of the European Community created to foster European research and the development of new technologies, applications, and industries.

LTM Joins Athena, a Chainguard-led Industry Coalition to Help Secure Open Source Software in the AI Era24.6.2026 08:30:00 CEST | Press release
LTM, the Business Creativity partner to the world’s largest enterprises, has joined Athena, a new industry coalition led by Chainguard, focused on protecting open source software from the rising threat of AI-driven vulnerabilities. Athena brings together leading organizations across the global software ecosystem to address an urgent challenge. As frontier AI models advance, they are increasingly capable of identifying novel vulnerabilities in open source software at machine speed, often faster than traditional disclosure and patching processes can respond. As AI accelerates both software development and the discovery of vulnerabilities, the window between a flaw being identified and being exploited has narrowed sharply. Athena is designed to close this gap through shared intelligence, coordinated action, and pre-disclosure remediation across the ecosystem. The coalition supports vulnerability management end to end, from discovery and analysis to patching, layered mitigations, and upstr
Over Half of Consumers Will Pay More for Brands That Are Transparent About AI Data Use, New Usercentrics Research Finds24.6.2026 08:30:00 CEST | Press release
52% of consumers globally will pay a 7% premium for AI transparency — rising to 73% in Germany. Almost half have already taken an action with a direct revenue consequence. AI transparency has become a commercial differentiator, and it's reshaping where brand revenue is won — or lost. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20260623804294/en/ Over half (52%) of consumers globally will pay more for brands that are transparent about how they use AI with their data at an average 7% premium. In Germany, that figure rises to 73% of consumers willing to pay a 9% premium, the highest of any market. The finding comes from the second annual State of Digital Trust 2026 Report, commissioned by Usercentrics, a leading data privacy technology company, and conducted by Sapio Research across 11,000 consumers in seven markets. The opportunity for brands that act is matched by the cost of inaction. Almost half (47%) of consumers surveyed
